Lyrics

Bleach version

If you wouldn't mind I would like it blew
If you wouldn't mind I would like to lose
If you wouldn't care I would like to leave
If you wouldn't mind I would like to breathe

Is there another reason for your stain
Could you believe who we knew stress or strain?
Here is another word that rhymes with shame

You could do anything




Early version

We were in a garden wastin' time
And we were in love and like to blew
We were in a garden like to blew
And if you wouldn't mind I would like to choose

See it, believe it, need it, is it sane
Is there another reason for your name
Is there another word that is your name

And if you wouldn't mind I would like to blew
And if you wouldn't mind if I'm overdue
Let me sit it down I would like to use
And if you wouldn't mind I would like to choose

Is there a reason never seem insane
Is there another meanin' with your name
Is there another reason for your stain

Is there another ?
Is there another double masquerade
Is there another ?

You could be anything
You could do anything
